Elios

Lucia rested her back, on the wall beside the bed. Her lips were a little swollen due to the kiss. She was reminiscing about the mind-blowing kiss. It was her first kiss, and she never thought it was going to happen like that. She heard a knock on the door.Lucia quickly took her mask and wore it. She knew it would be Lucas at the door, as no one else knew she was there. "Come in." Lucia's steady voice rang out. Lucas opened the door gently and closed it behind him. He looked at Lucia's face and he frowned.Lucia noticed his frown and she arched a brow at him. He couldn't help his curiosity, he asked, "Why do you always have your face covered?" Lucas asked. Immediately after he asked his question, he knew he had crossed the line. He scolded himself internally, waiting for Lucia to lash out. Lucia smirked but of course, Lucas couldn't see it. "That is none of your business, Mr. Lucas." She said. Lucas put his head down, he was embarrassed. He also wondered how she knew his name. He ha

Surrounded

Hugh drove into the hospital's grounds. He hurriedly got out of the car, with the small bag in his hand. His cap was still on, but before he could get into the lobby. He was surrounded by reporters. They had grown in number and how did they recognize him? "Damn it." Hugh muttered under his breath. He hurriedly dropped his head down and used the bag in his hand to cover his face. His cap was of great use now. The reporters weren't able to capture his face clearly. He knew he had worsened the situation by doing that.Hugh could have easily maneuvered his way out, using his inhumane skills. If he did that, he would draw more trouble for himself and Lucia. As Hugh tried to get out of there, he heard one of the reporters ask loudly, "Mr. Roy, what is the situation with CEO James?""Are you trying to cover up the CEO's death?" Another reporter asked. Hugh was getting frustrated, he thanked his stars when he saw that the security guards were trying to keep the reporters away. "Mr. Roy?" Hug

Melanie Young

Lucas looked from Lucia to Hugh. She had asked both of them questions. Lucas didn't know if he should answer first, or if Hugh should answer. He decided to keep quiet and take the back seat. But Hugh was not pleased, "Answer her." He said. Lucas nodded his head sheepishly.He continued to curse Hugh in his heart. He had never lost face like this before. He couldn't even summon the courage to go against Hugh. Lucia noticed how Hugh and Lucas behaved. She arched a brow at them, she wondered if something had gone wrong. "What's with you both, huh?" Hugh shook his head and smiled, "Nothing." He said firmly. Lucas wanted to protest, but he didn't dare to. 'These two are alike.' Lucas thought. He didn't take Lucia's curiousness about Hugh's tyranny over him into consideration. Lucia had also intimidated him. Lucas cleared his throat and described the shareholder."He is tall. He has dirty blonde hair, a pointed nose, and sunken eyes. He was in a brown suit, that looked too big for his body

Awake

"Come here." Hugh said with a cool voice. Lucia placed the things in her hand, on the bed. She moved closer to Hugh and hugged him. She buried her head in his chest, as Hugh embraced her tightly. "She can't get to you. She doesn't know you're here." Hugh said.His head was close to Lucia's ear. His words soothed her, as they flow into her ears. Lucia recollected herself, "Why didn't I think of that?" Lucia said scornfully to herself and Hugh. He smiled over her head and said, "It happens. It's not bad to be emotional." He said."You just have to know how not to lose yourself to your emotions." Hugh comforted her. He patted her back, soothing Lucia. She pulled herself away from Hugh. There were tears glistening in her eyes, but she wouldn't let them fall. Hugh offered her a handkerchief, knowing how she was.Lucia took the kerchief and wiped her eyes before the tears fell. "What do you think she wants? Does she suspects that I'm here?" Lucia asked with furrowed brows. Alix Enterprise h

Sacrifice

Hugh opened his eyes suddenly. His head was resting on the back of the couch. It was dark in grandpa James' ward. He could see Lucia sprawled beside grandpa James'. He felt a familiar and hated presence around the ward and his head snapped to look at the door. Hugh stood up and walked toward Lucia to check if she was really sleeping. It had been an hour since they entered the ward. It was late and it wasn't surprising that Lucia was sleeping tiredly. He gently raised her shoulder and took her in his arms toward the sofa.He placed her back lightly on it and straightened her legs. After setting her comfortably on the sofa, he raised his hand and caressed her cheek. Lucia suddenly caught his hand, unconsciously. Hugh chuckled at this, "I'll be back, kitten. I need to deal with a pesky fly." He whispered.Hugh removed his hand from Lucia's loose grip. He walked towards the ward's door, he knew the person on the other side of the door could hear his footsteps. He did not make any attempt

Stumped

Hugh's brain spelled danger for him. He could feel the evident bloodlust from Elios. He rushed after Elios but he had already gotten to where Lucia was. Hugh's eyes turned blue, he was ready to reveal his identity as a wolf and pounce on Elios. He didn't care about repercussions.Hugh's right hand had changed. It was furry and clawed. Lucia didn't see Hugh's change but she was surprised at the unfamiliar person present. Before Elios could touch Lucia, Hugh had pierced his back, close to his heart. Elios halted in his steps. His hand that was raised to touch Lucia stopped mid-air."Why are you awake?" Hugh asked with an uneasy smile on his face. Lucia looked at Hugh and then looked back at Elios with a suspicious look. "I wanted to use the bathroom. I didn't see you there. You said you would stay." Lucia said and pouted her lips."Sorry about that. I came out to do some business." Hugh said awkwardly. His hand that had turned had changed back. He used his hand to block the wound he had

A Woman In Black

Lucia felt a bit sour due to how she acted. She did not get the time to dwell on her feelings before she was spoken to by the doctor. "He is fine, Miss." The attending doctor said, "I will be out. You should be careful with him. Subsequent treatments would commence afterward." The doctor said and Lucia nodded, watching as the doctor walked out. Lucia turned around and walked to grandpa James' bed. The tubes attached to him had already been removed. An IV drip was still attached to him. "How are you, grandpa?" Lucia asked with a smile as tears filled her eyes. "Come here, girl." Grandpa James said with a shaky voice.Grandpa James demanded for a hug. Lucia shook her head with a smile on her face. She wanted to give her grandpa a hug. But she looked at his frail body and could not dare to. "You should rest, grandpa. What type of porridge would you like to eat?" She asked. Grandpa James put on a grumpy look. He hated the weird taste and unspiced taste of porridge. But it was the only f

Strangled

Hugh quickly took out his phone to text Lucas to go see grandpa James. On second thoughts, Hugh decided to call Lucas instead. It would be faster and would make Lucia assured. He dialed Lucas' phone number. Lucas picked up on the fourth ring, "Go to CEO James' ward, now." Hugh's voice gave no room for Lucas to disobey. Lucas on the other hand thought deeply about Hugh's words. He decided to go to the ward now since he was done with what Lucia had ordered him to do. Everything he had compiled would be on the news that day. Lucas put back his laptop into his bag and walked out of the restroom. He had been using the restroom on the last floor. He was thankful that the shareholders had dispersed. He didn't know that CEO was awake now. He boarded the elevator and rode to the highest floor.Lucas saw a woman in the elevator. She was dressed in a black dress. She looked familiar to Lucas. He nodded at her in greeting. The woman looked at Lucas but didn't bother to return his greeting. She

Entranced

Lucia nodded her head over the phone. She heard the beeping sound that indicated the call had ended. She decided she would see her grandpa herself before she would believe that he was alright. She had negative feelings about Melanie's presence in the hospital. She turned to see Hugh behind her.Hugh looked at Lucia with a serious look. He was trying to decern her thoughts through the different expressions on her face. But he could only see panic and worry for her grandfather. 'Does she have no emotions for me, huh?' Hugh asked himself. He was hurt alongside his wolf."Your phone." Lucia said and stretched his phone to him. She expected Hugh to take it immediately but he did not. He was still looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze. Lucia was tired of standing and she wanted to leave. She still had to make porridge for her grandpa. She decided she would take a nap first. Lucia put her hand down while Hugh was still looking at her. She crept her hand towards his pants pocket and droppe

No Answer

Lucia was a bit surprised at his words. The Elios she had seen didn't look one bit dangerous. He looked more like a pretty boy, but she knew not to underestimate anyone. She also didn't want to probe too much, as she knew her limits. Hugh's words made her think twice.'If Elios is dangerous, is Hugh dangerous too?' Lucia thought as she looked into Hugh's eyes. She decided to talk about the next thing on her mind, "What are we?" Lucia asked vaguely because she was a bit embarrassed. She had read somewhere that the question was mostly asked by women.She bent her head slightly to avoid his eyes. Her words made Hugh furrow his brows. He didn't know how to answer her. He also wanted to laugh because of the embarrassed and shy expression on her face. It was rare to see Lucia shy or embarrassed. He liked her boldness."Honestly…" Hugh started and trailed off. Lucia eagerly waited for him to complete his sentence. She hated being left hanging like that but she decided to be patient. Hugh on t
